THE ROOKIE on ABC – First Look

May 15, 2018 by  

Nathan Fillion is returning to ABC with his new procedural, THE ROOKIE, about the oldest rookie on the force. (The series was also created by former CASTLE co-showrunner Alexi Hawley.)

Check out photos from the pilot, gallery art, the official description, and a trailer…

The trailer:

The teaser:

ABC’s take: “Starting over isn’t easy, especially for small-town guy John Nolan who, after a life-altering incident, is pursuing his dream of being an LAPD officer. As the force’s oldest rookie, he’s met with skepticism from some higher-ups who see him as just a walking midlife crisis. If he can’t keep up with the young cops and the criminals, he’ll be risking lives including his own. But if he can use his life experience, determination and sense of humor to give him an edge, he may just become a success in this new chapter of his life.
 
The series stars Nathan Fillion as John Nolan, Alyssa Diaz as Angela Lopez, Richard T. Jones as Sergeant Wade Grey, Titus Makin as Jackson West, Mercedes Mason as Captain Zoe Andersen, Melissa O’Neil as Lucy Chen, Afton Williamson as Talia Bishop and Eric Winter as Tim Bradford.

Alexi Hawley is writer and executive producer; Mark Gordon, Nathan Fillion, Michelle Chapman and Jon Steinberg are executive producers on the series. Liz Friedlander directed and executive produced the first episode. Entertainment One (eOne) is the lead studio on “The Rookie,” a co-production with ABC Studios.”

    Fun, a TV should be fun to watch. Castle was often fun because Fillion is a very strong comedic actor. Granted you can’t tell that much from a trailer, but this show does not look like it will be fun to watch. It seems drama heavy and over earnest at that. It does not seem to play to Fillion’s strength.

    Still, I’ll give it a try because he was so good in Castle.
